I would like to know why some dog owners feel it's okay to allow their dogs to run loose in the neighborhood? They obviously don't take into consideration that this is a safety and health hazard for their pets. Free to run out into the street making traffic have to come to a screeching halt and leaving them out to run for hours without water available during these hot summer days is dangerous. This practice is also very inconsiderate to their neighbors as their dogs are free to get into their yards to tear up their flower gardens ...
